I submitted this #FOIA request several years ago for information on the time Dennis Banks had asylum @OnondagaNation. The Feds said there was nothing for me to see. Then, this morning, I found this in my mailbox. Never wanted to find a portable CDRom reader more than now.

Spent this morning with my dad and a good friend reading through two collections of Civil War recently donated to @SUNYGeneseo. Both collections were from Livingston County soldiers, one who served in the Wadsworth Guards and the other in the 1st NY Dragoons. A quality morning.

I’m getting a hard sell from the folks @CircleIn_App, which someone at my college thought was a good idea to adopt. Why should I even consider using something with such poorly-proofread material? #BushLeague #Nah

Found some pictures of my mom’s grandfathers. One was with the NYPD, and the other I know little about.

Not enough space here to respond w/ the nuance required, but the problem is not new, nor is it getting worse among faculty. Much of what she complains about is promoted by admins, who I think we can all agree are far too numerous, & are routinely ignored in the classroom.
I have long been uneasy about a growing compulsion for academics to bring political agendas into teaching and research. (I believe political views are private and that the lecturer has no right to use their platform for propaganda.) Turns out I wasn't just imagining this.

About to start driving from California to New York tomorrow. I plan to make it back in time for the beginning of the semester.
